Chapter 22 · The Chapter on Lost Propertyحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ زَيْدِ بْنِ صُوحَانَ، وَسَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْعُذَيْبِ الْتَقَطْتُ سَوْطًا، فَقَالَا لِي: أَلْقِهِ، فَأَبَيْتُ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ أَتَيْتُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَصَبْتَ، الْتَقَطْتُ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً ، فَعَرَّفْتُهَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يَعْرِفُهَا، فَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: عَرِّفْهَا . فَعَرَّفْتُهَا، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يَعْرِفُهَا، فَقَالَ: اعْرِفْ وِعَاءَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا وَعَدَدَهَا، ثُمَّ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً، فَإِنْ جَاءَ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا، وَإِلَّا، فَهِيَ كَسَبِيلِ مَالِكَ .

“I went out with Zaid bin Suhan and Salman bin Rabi'ah, and when we were at `Udhaib, I found a whip. They said to me: 'Throw it away,' but I refused. When we came to Al-Madinah I went to Ubayy bin Ka'b رضی اللہ عنہ and told him about that. He said: 'You did the right thing. I found one hundred dinar that had been lost at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and I asked him about it. He said, “Announce it for a year.” So I Announced it, and I did not find anyone who recognized it. He said: “Remember the features of its bag and strap, and how many it contains, then announce it for a year. If someone comes who describes it with those features, (give it to him), otherwise it is like your own property.”
